IS anyone working on software to use this (or maybe other win mobile 6 pda's) with T-mo's new UMA based system?
For those who dont know what that is, T-mo' is now accepting connections from "compatible phones" via internet (like a vonage softphone), they actually use the sim based data, through the internet rather than through their cellular connection. after paying for the service, all calls originated on a internet connection are not counted against your minutes! They even have the ability to seamlessly (supposedly) migrate from gsm to ip and back again, and if the call orinated on ip and then migrated to gsm, it is not billed against your minutes!
I like my tilt and dont want a new phone, but want to make use of this service to save alot of money on my account! IS there a way to make a "softphone" that will read the data off of the sim chip but use ip rather than the gsm radio? In my research I found that Kineto Software is the company making the software for developers to put into the phones, and a couple of companies over seas (I am in usa) offer similar technology and atleast one other carrier is releasing software for wm6, if I remember reading right last night.
